I took out the RAM card to see what kind it was and after I put it back in, the computer won't come back on. HELP>>>>

Answers :

Remove the battery\015\012Remove the ram again\015\012Insert memory under proper angle carefully deep in the slot, push dowh till memory locks on both sides.\015\012Put battery back Try to work

Take it back out and make sure you got it the right way around there are gooves in the middle of the card to ensure it goes the right way round. You have to press firmly down until it clicks into place (not to hard) Make usre you have unpluged your computer when you are doing this and touch somewhere on the metal part of the case to ground you before touching it. IF that doesn't work then you may have to take it to a technichian at your local Staples or soemthing most are good at checking it out for you.\015\012Cheers\015\012Al

I have a Dell Inspiron 5150 that doesn't seem to post. When I turn it on, the power light comes on, the battery light comes on, I hear the heat sink fan run, but I don't get the Dell splash screen. I tried a different video card. Nothing. I connected to an external monitor. Nothing. I have heard of a lot of problems with this model, but never about the video socket on the motherboard. Is there anything else I could try?
